Data centers come in all shapes and sizes for many different reasons. Some are built at an angle that avoids direct sunlight to reduce cooling needs and increase efficiency. Some are built in places that offer the most in terms of renewables. Some are built into already existing buildings, some are underwater, some float over the water, and some are even inside of a mountain.
So, the questions is, what’s the best way to build a data center? And, the answer is, it depends.
